Does Stratmoor Hills Wsd have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between December 2020 and October 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
